Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9953434A1] A method of printing (Fig. 1) on a print medium (12) with an inkjet printer uses a first color ink, a second color ink and a black ink. An image area (10) on the print medium (12) has a plurality of pixel locations. Print image data indicate on of a presence and on absence of the first color ink, the second color ink and the black ink at the plurality of pixel locations. A subset of the print image data is defined. A determination is made as to whether the subset of print image data indicates 1) a presence of the first color ink and/or the second color ink within the subset and a presence of the black ink within the subset; 2) a presence of each of the first color ink and the second color ink within the subset at a same corresponding pixel location; and/or 3) a presence of the first color ink and/or the second color ink within the subset at a number of corresponding pixel locations exceeding a threshold value. The print medium (12) is printed in the image area (10) at an interlace level which is dependent upon the determination.
